Project Red Baron - Gaz' Cav

[Gaz]

Im waitiing for the weather to pickup so i can get them prepped then i'll probably get them on.

[V6power]

fair one, will look spot on with the skirts fitted.

question, you had vectra recaro's fitted in your cav, but changed them for those alfa ones, what did you do with the vectra seats? they well gone? been looking at options, really like the half leather seats that came in the vectra SRi's, still got the same issue with fitting though.

[Gaz]

yea sold them to someone on here and apparently they finished up in an astra van

sriguy has fitted vectra sri leather to his cav might be worth giving him a nudge as the gsi seats mount differently than the rest of the range of vectras (they are true recaros with adapter rails)

[V6power]

complete waste ending up in a van.

Thanks Gaz, ill drop him a message and see.

[Gaz]

it has worked out about 300 but i need a wide band lamda so i can tune it

i got the ms2 v3, its the one with the ecu upgrade. supposed to be there with the best of em.

Do you still need all the ford edis crap with the version3?

[Gaz]

today i did a bit of porting on the manifold for the throttle bodies so it doesnt have a massive step where it joins

Takes longer than you think but its not too bad a job

[btcctroy]

im gonna try and weld on round tubes so they meet the bodies pefectly.

been converting my mig to do it.

just not sure how well the mig will work with ali

[TurboDan]

Is it not worth grinding them 2 bits off that are sticking off the side of each port so it seals nice.

Hint of the day, well you know the result just thought id share

After squig removed the tyres from the bbs rims i bought the other month i got started and sanded all the kerb marks out of them, most the damage was in the 5 or so layers of paint so didn't need much to get them nice and smooth. I did them because powdercoating places dont do any repairs just remove the paint then powdercoat them so if there any imperfections they will show on the final finish

[btcctroy]

awesome pic lol

[Lowrider Dave]

Your new wheels seem to be slightly on the large side...

[Deeksin]

look awsome mate when they going on?

[Gaz]

Ive only just fitted new wheels this afternoon, i cant change them right now, as for when i need tyres for them first.

[TurboDan]

So wheres the pics of ur new wheels fitted then?

[Gaz]

i didnt get any while it was light and now its too dark

[psl]

them bbs wheels will look rather nice on the old cav

[vauxtillidie]

The wheel specialist will sort out any inperfections bit pricey tho

[Gaz]

chris theres nothing on the wheels i cant sort, there are 2 spots about 5mmx2mm on a wheel that need sorting, other than that they are spot on, well will be once ive given them another pass with a lighter grade paper

[gsi pie]

i like them

[Gaz]

[gsi pie]

they look sweet

what et are they?

any side pics?

[loopylees69]

what Azevs are they gaz??

they look sweet,

but you have abit of mix an match colours going on there

red bodywork, black roof and white wheels

you should have painted them black

a like the dice valve caps, quite cool, they wouldny last long round here, as kids are always pinching them for there bikes lol

[Gaz]

azev a's, black wheels are shit they may as well be steels, ive just removed dark wheels its time for some liight ones, eventually i might go to black ones but next are the bbs's and they are going silver.

Whites a good contrast rather than just going black/red black/red

Valve caps would last seconds round here thats why ive took them off and keeping them for best lol

Pie, et 39 8" wide, i am tempted to space the rears out a bit as with the arches they are a bit too far in.

I'll get 1some side pics later on when im out you cant really get any decent ones while its parked on the drive

[planetc]

They look really nice Gaz. Very smart.

[Terry]

I think the valve caps look gay anyway. Bit scene aren't they.
